may be changed a trifle from time to time if 'necessary by the aid of a wrench. These jetorifices, therefore, are not enlarged or injured by closing of these valves, and the operator in starting the stove has no nice adjustment of valve to make, but, on the Contrary, can turn valves U2 and D2 Wide open.

Through inadvertence frequently valve C2 is closed to extinguish the heating-burner, leaving` valve D2 Wide open, in consequence of which there is a waste of gasoline as soon as the generator cools down. To avoid this I mount disks C3 and D3 on the respective valvestems, these disks being made to overlap each other and abut eaoh other when the valves are open or closed, disk C3 being placed outside, as shown :in Figs. 1 and 2. XVith this arrange ment valve D2 must be closed before it is possiblev to close valve C?. By reason of .grooves b -andjserrations e', arranged as aforesaid, jthe jets of flameissuing from the heating-burn er, instead of being round, are thin and irregular in cross-section, thus exposing a great sur'iare of ame to the air, and this is found to add considerable to the heating Capacity of the burner.

The heating-burner is opera-ted substantially the same as ordinary burners. The gasoline, being first admitted through jetorifiee c, strikes burner-eap l, and, falling baek i'nto the @up 3', is discharged from thence through the Orifice blt and inductiontube ll into the lighting-cup below. After the heating-burner is in full operation, by

means of Valve D2 vapor may be discharged to the lighting-burner whenever it is needed.

That l claim isl. The Combination, with the eomminglingchamber having a laterally-projecting flange and a series of radial grooves in the top surfaee of the iiange, of a burner-cap having a series of notches or serrations in its under side, said burner-cap being adapted to rest on the flange of the said eommingling-ohamber, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination, with a ommingling chamber having a laterallyeproj eetin g iiange with a series of grooves on the surface of the flange, substantially as indicated, of a burneroap having a depending rim with a serrated lower edge, said serrations being` made to mismatch the grooves of the generator-flan ge, and wings connected with the burner-cap for engaging the inner Wall of the primary oomminglingehamber to hold lthe Cap centrally, substantially as set forth.

3. The oombin ation, with primary and seeondary induction-tubes, of valve-arms having duets and jet-orifices, hand-valves for opening and closing the duets, and stops mounted on the respectivo valve-stems, said stops overlapping and abutting eaeh other, with the valves in open or closed position, substantially `as set forth.

ln testimony whereof' I sign this specification, in the presence of two \vit1iesses,fhis 3&Oth day of August, 1887.
